Maple or Rosewood | TWO Fender Vintera III Late ’60s Precision Basses

SHOP NOW - https://empiremusic.com/collections/fender/bass

In this video, our Anthony Pecora compares two versions of the Fender Vintera III Late ’60s Precision Bass — one with a maple fingerboard and one with rosewood. This isn’t about better or worse. It’s about demystifying the differences — and similarities — between two classic takes on the same legendary instrument.

We explore the subtle ways fingerboard choice can influence feel, response, look, and overall character. Does maple bring a touch more snap and immediacy? Does rosewood feel a bit warmer and smoother under the hands? Or are the differences smaller than people often assume? The answer is part of the fun.

Both basses deliver the unmistakable late-’60s Precision Bass foundation: punch, clarity, woody mids, and effortless authority in a mix. The real question becomes which version connects more with your hands, your ears, and your style.

At Empire Music, we stock both models because we genuinely love both models. Our goal is to help players understand the nuances and find the instrument that feels right for them.

Which one is your favorite — maple or rosewood? Let us know in the comments.
